Your Elora clue solving adventure: The Grand Gorge Race

A local historian has unearthed a story that calls into question how the charming Ontario town of Elora was founded. A dispute between rival claims to the land was resolved by holding a raft race along the river and through the gorge. Do you and your team have what it takes to help the historian follow a trail of clues around town to find the names of those involved?

  • Start location: Downtown Elora
  • Start time: It is flexible! Start any day any time. Just finish it before it gets too dark.
  • Walking distance: Approximately 3km on paved sidewalks and woodland trails, with several hills and some optional stairs.
  • Average time to complete: 2-hours
  • Level of difficulty: This experience is family and pet friendly. However the clues can be quite challenging and we therefore recommend playing with adults.
